被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：31.61(Nuclear Science & Technology)The ID1 test was the final target test of the EAGLE experimental framework program. It was used to verify that during a core disruptive accident, the molten fuel could be discharged via wall failure of an inner duct in FAIDUS, a design concept for the sodium-cooled fast reactor. The ID1 results revealed that the wall failure behavior owed to the large heat flow from the surrounding fuel/steel mixture. The present study numerically investigated the heat transfer mechanisms in the test using the finite volume particle method in the three-dimensional domain. The thermal hydraulic behaviors during wall failure were reproduced reasonably. The present three-dimensional simulation mitigated inherent defects of our previous two-dimensional calculation and clarified that the solid fuel and liquid steel close to the outer surface of the duct can expose the duct to high thermal loads, resulting in the wall failure.

日本のナトリウム冷却高速炉では、高速炉の炉心損傷事故における大規模炉心プール形成による再臨界を回避する方策として、内部ダクト付き燃料集合体(FAIDUS)が提案されている。本研究では、FAIDUSの有効性を実証するために実施されたEAGLE ID1炉内試験を対象に3次元粒子粒子法シミュレーションを行い、溶融燃料/スティールの混合プールからダクト壁への熱伝達機構を明らかにするための解析的検討を行った。

被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：65.59(Nuclear Science & Technology)The EAGLE ID1 test was performed by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency to demonstrate the effectiveness of fuel discharge from a fuel subassembly with an inner duct structure. The experimental results suggested that the early duct wall failure observed in the test was initiated by high heat flux from the molten pool comprising liquid fuel and steel. In addition, the post-test analyses showed that the high heat flux may be enhanced effectively by molten steel in the pool. In this study, a series of thermal-hydraulic behaviors in the ID1 test was analyzed to investigate the mechanisms of molten pool-to-duct wall heat transfer using a fully Lagrangian approach based on the finite volume particle method. The present 2D particle-based simulation demonstrated that a large thermal load on the duct wall can be caused by direct contact of the liquid fuel with nuclear heat and high-temperature liquid steel.

EAGLE炉内ID1試験は日本原子力研究開発機構によって実施され、FAIDUSと称される内部ダクト付き燃料集合体からの早期燃料流出を模擬したものである。試験で生じた早期ダクト破損は、燃料とスティールから構成される溶融プールからの高い熱流束によるものと解釈されている。試験後の分析からは、壁面に燃料クラストが形成されない状況において、高い熱伝導度を有するプール中の溶融スティールによって溶融プールからダクトへの伝熱が効果的に促進されたことが示唆されている。本研究では、多成分多相流の粒子法に基づいた完全ラグランジェ法を用いて溶融プールからダクト壁への熱伝達機構を分析した。プール中の溶融スティールと燃料の混合と分離挙動およびこれらの挙動がプールからダクトへの伝熱に与える影響を調べるため、燃料ピンの崩壊、溶融プールの形成およびダクト壁の破損に至る一連の挙動を模擬した。現在の2次元粒子法シミュレーションでは、10MW/m
を超える壁面への大きな熱負荷は、核発熱を伴う液体燃料が壁面へ直接接触することによるものであることが示された。

被引用回数：26 パーセンタイル：90.65(Nuclear Science & Technology)Studies on local fuel-coolant interactions (FCI) in a molten pool are crucial to the analyses of severe accidents that could occur for sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). To clarify the characteristics of this interaction, in recent years a series of simulated experiments, which covers a variety of conditions including much difference in water volume, melt temperature, water subcooling and water release site (pool surface or bottom), was conducted at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency by delivering a given quantity of water into a molten pool formed with a low-melting-point alloy. In this study, motivated by acquiring further evidence for understanding its mechanisms, interaction characteristics including the pressure-buildup as well as mechanical energy release and its conversion efficiency, are investigated using the SIMMER-III, an advanced fast reactor safety analysis code. It is confirmed that, similar to experiments, the water volume, melt temperature and water release site are observable to have remarkable impact on the interaction, while the role of water subcooling seems to be less prominent. The performed analyses also suggest that the most probable reason leading to the limited pressurization and resultant mechanical energy release for a given melt and water temperature within the non-film boiling range, even under a condition of much larger volume of water entrapped within the pool, should be primarily due to an isolation effect of vapor bubbles generated at the water-melt interface.

To clarify the mechanisms underlying local fuel-coolant interactions (FCI) in a molten pool, in this study, several latest calculations with reactor materials were performed using SIMMER-III, an advanced fast reactor safety analysis code. The performed SIMMER-III analyses suggest that despite of a comparatively larger temperature range of molten-fuel and sodium possibly varied during reactor accidents, the isolation effect of vapor bubbles generated at the melt-sodium interface seems to be the unique dominant mechanism that leads to the limited pressurization. Knowledge and fundamental data from this work might be utilized for future empirical-approach studies (e.g. those investigating the characteristics of critical coolant volume required for achieving the saturated pressurization at varied melt and coolant temperatures).

被引用回数：6 パーセンタイル：45.92(Nuclear Science & Technology)To clarify the mechanisms underlying local fuel-coolant interactions (FCI) in a molten pool, in recent years several experimental tests, with comparatively larger difference in coolant volumes, were conducted at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency by delivering a given quantity of water into a molten pool formed with a low-melting-point alloy. In this study, to further understand this interaction, interaction characteristics including the pressure-buildup as well as mechanical energy release and its conversion efficiency are investigated using the SIMMER-III, an advanced fast reactor safety analysis code. It is found that the SIMMER-III code not only reasonably simulates the transient pressure and temperature variations during local FCIs, but also supports the limited tendency of pressurization and resultant mechanical energy release as observed from experiments when the volume of water delivered into the pool increases. The performed analyses also suggest that the most probable reason leading to such limited tendency should be primarily due to an isolation effect of vapor bubbles generated at the water-melt interface.

シビアアクシデント時の溶融燃料プールと冷却水との液液界面における熱伝達の把握を目的として、溶融ウッズメタルと蒸留水とを用いた定常及び非定常熱伝達実験を行った。定常実験では、自然対流領域から膜沸騰領域に至る沸騰曲線を取得するとともに、沸騰挙動を高速度ビデオにより観察した。非定常実験では、高温の溶融金属上に蒸留水を注入し、冷却過程における沸騰曲線を得た。得られた沸騰曲線を、固液系及び液液系に対する既存の相関式や実験データと比較し、以下の結論を得た。(1)界面の揺動が無視でき、かつ、界面に酸化膜に形成される場合には、液液系の沸騰曲線は、固液系の核沸騰及び膜沸騰領域の熱伝達相関式並びに限界熱流束相関式により概ね予測できる。(2)液液界面に酸化物が存在しない場合には、Novakovicらの水銀を用いた実験結果と同様、液液系の沸騰熱伝達は固液系の沸騰曲線により高過熱度側に移行する。(3)非定常状態における膜沸騰において、熱伝達率は、固液系の膜沸騰に対する推算値より約100%程度大きい値を示した。これは、界面全体の激しい揺動のために、みかけの熱伝達率が増大したものと考えられる。

EAGLE ID1 and ID2 tests suggest that the duct wall failure was initiated by high heat flux from molten pool in FAIDUS. In this study, EAGLE ID1 and ID2 tests, which were performed under different power conditions, were simulated numerically using the finite volume particle (FVP) method to study the thermal-hydraulic mechanisms underlying the heat transfer process.
